#4 Social Security and Medicare Fraud undoubtedly approach tens of billions of dollars. Each system could be made healthier for years to come with a genuine focus on investigation and enforcement. |

#3 That's true - some parents are even shopping around for a Dr. to give their kids a 'SSI Disability' (usually ADHD). Yet another entitlement stream for the parents. I'm not saying that some people aren't disabled - but too many (far too many) are simply milking the system. Doctors (and parents) need to be held accountable - as in 10-20 years in a pound-me-in-the-ass-prison for fraud accountable. |

#2 The most desirable benefit is "incapacity benefit," or disability pension. Once you get it, you get it for keeps. "Disability" benefit here in the States. It's laying waste to the Social Security ponzi scheme. |

#1 After all, who can prefer food stamps to paychecks? There's an entire subclass birthed by the redistributionists who see it as an entitlement, like a magic money tree. They keep voting for more. Why commit oneself to the long road to learn, develop skills, and pay taxes when a free ride is available? |
